抵达珀斯后必做的5件事5 Things To Do After Arriving
  1. 1
    🇦🇺 申请 TFN(税号)Apply for TFN (Tax File Number)
    TFN 是你在澳洲工作、报税、存银行(避免高额利息税)的必备号码。免费! 在线申请(ato.gov.au/TFN),提交护照和签证信息。通常2–4周寄到你的澳洲地址。学生/打工度假签/PR都可申请。 TFN is essential for working, filing taxes, and earning bank interest (without TFN, you're taxed at the highest rate). Free! Apply online at ato.gov.au/TFN with passport and visa details. Arrives by post in 2–4 weeks. Available for students, WHV holders, PR.
  2. 2
    🏦 开银行账户Open a Bank Account
    到了珀斯第一周就开银行账户。推荐四大银行(Commonwealth, NAB, Westpac, ANZ),带护照和签证直接去网点开,当场拿银行卡。可问留学生账户(通常免月费)。更详细对比请查看 银行开户指南 Open a bank account in your first week. The Big Four (Commonwealth, NAB, Westpac, ANZ) accept passport + visa at any branch, instant card issuance. Ask about student accounts (usually fee-free). See our Banking Guide for comparisons.
  3. 3
    📱 办手机卡Get a SIM / Phone Plan
    短期(旅行/打工度假):买预付费SIM卡,超市/便利店/运营商门店都有卖。推荐 Boost(使用Telstra网络,信号最好)或 Amaysim(便宜)。长期(学生/PR):签合约机或每月的 Plan,Telstra/Optus/Vodafone 三大网络任选。

    📱 eSIM 更方便! iPhone XS/三星S20 及以后机型大多支持 eSIM,网上买完扫码激活,不用等实体卡邮寄,几分钟搞定。详见下方 eSIM 专节。
    Short-term (travel/WHV): Buy a prepaid SIM at supermarkets, convenience stores or carrier shops. Boost (Telstra network, best coverage) or Amaysim (affordable). Long-term (students/PR): Monthly plans or phone contracts from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone.

    📱 eSIM is even easier! iPhone XS/Samsung S20 and newer support eSIM. Buy online, scan QR code, activate in minutes — no physical SIM needed. See eSIM section below.
  4. 4
    🏥 注册 Medicare(医保)Register for Medicare
    如果你持有PR、新西兰公民或某些特定签证(如部分难民签证),可以免费注册澳洲公立医疗保险 Medicare。申请后拿到临时号码(可立即使用),正式卡2–3周寄到。
    ⚠️ 留学生和学生签通常不能注册 Medicare,需要购买 OSHC(海外学生健康保险),由学校统一安排。
    PR holders, NZ citizens, and holders of certain specific visas can register for Australia's free public health system. Get a temporary Medicare number immediately after applying; the physical card arrives in 2–3 weeks.
    ⚠️ International students generally cannot register for Medicare — you need OSHC (Overseas Student Health Cover) arranged through your school.
  5. 5
    🪪 驾照翻译/转换License Translation / Transfer
    PR/公民必须在入境3个月内将海外驾照转为WA驾照。旅游签和学生签可使用海外驾照+NAATI翻译件开车。具体流程查看 西澳驾照攻略 PR/Citizens must transfer their overseas license to a WA license within 3 months of arrival. Visitor/student visa holders can drive on overseas license + NAATI translation. See our WA Driver's License Guide for details.
🇦🇺 TFN(税号)申请TFN Application
TFN(Tax File Number)是每个人在澳洲税务系统的唯一身份标识。

为什么要申请TFN? 雇主发工资时需要你提供;银行需要你的TFN否则利息按最高税率(47%)扣税;报税时需要。

申请网址: ato.gov.au/TFN
所需材料: 护照、签证详细信息、澳洲地址
处理时间: 2–4周(邮寄到你的澳洲地址)
费用: 免费!

重要: TFN是和你的身份绑定的,即使离开澳洲也不会作废。但如果你离开澳洲超过6年,ATO可能会注销你的TFN。一定要保管好!

替代方案: 如果暂时没有固定地址无法收信,可以先去银行开户,用银行地址收信。
TFN (Tax File Number) is your unique identifier in Australia's tax system.

Why you need it: Your employer needs it for payroll; banks need it otherwise interest is taxed at 47%; necessary for tax returns.

Apply at: ato.gov.au/TFN
Required: Passport, visa details, Australian address
Processing time: 2–4 weeks (mailed to your Australian address)
Cost: Free!

Important: TFN stays with you even if you leave Australia. It may be cancelled if you're gone for over 6 years. Keep it safe!

Alternative: If you don't have a fixed address yet, open a bank account first and use the bank's address to receive mail.
